The Surreal Salad Days of RKD is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Jelf VII with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.705 billion carcinogens are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Heavenly Kitchen Table. The average income tax rate is 76.0%.

The thriving carcinogenic economy, worth 77.4 trillion raffle tickets a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Retail industry. Average income is 45,395 raffle tickets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Murderers and thieves claim divine inspiration to avoid prosecution, raindances intended to summon storms instead attract tourists, actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs, and the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. RKD's national animal is the Vegetable Lamb of Tartary, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Yodlism.

RKD is ranked 17,598th in the world and 2nd in Quiet Cottage on the Edge of the Cosmos for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 33 missed references per hour.
